Deploy Meteor code using a different version of Meteor?

Question

I'm developing a Meteor app on cloud9 (c9.io) which is stuck on Meteor v0.5.9. I'd like to try my app with 0.6.5.1 as I'm having a few unexplained issues.

Q: Is it possible to do a meteor deploy myapp.meteor.com

and specify the version of Meteor.

I'm assuming not, as I guess everything's packaged up and deployed together, including Meteor itself?

Specify what version of Meteor to use locally suggest you can specify meteor versions, so may be I should set that just before deployment?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. In fact, it's the same argument as in the other question:

meteor deploy --release <tag of meteor> myapp.meteor.com

The tags are the same as in https://github.com/meteor/meteor/releases but without the release/ prefix.

However, in your case, the current version is 0.6.5.1 so if you just did a meteor update on your machine, that would be the default release for any deploy or bundling. Beware that it will be hard to go back to a previous version because of the various changes it will make.
